    A Song of Myself

     Paraphrase (Sections 6 and 9):


    1. In section 6, a kid asked the poet about the grass but the poet cannot answer
    him, the poet then discusses the qualities and gifts holding the name of its
    owner. What happened to ancient time people? Are they still alive? The reality
    is that there is no death. Everything gets destroyed and whoever dies is lucky.

    2. In section 9, the grass loads the wagon, and brown, grey, and green display
    together, the tone here starts to change. The poet’s happiness starts to appear,
    stretched atop of the loads, feeling shakes, legs leaning on each other, and
    finally sliding across the crossbeams.
